Easiest way I've found to get around that with the default launcher should be to:
1. Replace "turbine_logo.bik" with a file the client still recognizes but won't play an animation. You can just create a copy of "lotro_ad_pregame.jpg" and rename it to "turbine_logo.bik".
2. Run the launcher with the "-skiprawdownload" and "-disablepatch" command line arguments.
Downside is you would have to run the launcher without the arguments and redo the change to "turbine_logo.bik" when there's a game update. Of course, the skipped patching also speeds up the launch process, and the change to "turbine_logo.bik" could easily get automated as part of your launch shortcut.
Only other easy option I found is to use a script to delete "turbine_logo.bik" a few seconds after running the launcher. That could potentially fail during the launch right after a game update, though, since patching would still be in progress when the file is deleted.
